When I sell inscription items, the buyer often does not care about it being clean or pre modded.
Usually if you have desirable mods, salvage them off the weapon of they exceed the value of the weapon.
If your sword is old school (OS), it is worth more than the inscription base. It helps your mods are also in the preferred order.
I've sold plenty of cele inscription and OS items.
That sword may be as little as 10e or as high as 25e depending on the buyer. For an inscription base, 2e-5e is what I have been selling them for.
Thanks Haematic for the help
